Radio messages about a huge glowing spacecraft were broadcast
with the warning "Do not approach. It may be radioactive."
The warning was followed by directions to the field in Appleton.
The eavesdroppers arrived within minutes, expecting to see little
green men. They were arrested instead.
Police said that 5 people had been reported to the Crown
Prosecution Service for telecommunications offences. Scanning
devices that can pick up police radio messages are widely
available but using them to listen to police transmissions is
an offence.`
